We have a lot of catching up to do...
 It's been an interesting month! We lost our Internet access on the 8th and had a long wait to get it all hooked back up again. With the normal busyness of life and family travel, LAF has had to take a miniature vacation. We hope to update again soon, though!

The Death of a Doctor
But Dr. Tiller was also a husband, a father of four, and a grandfather
of ten. He was a human being, created in God's image. Under God's law,
and under the law of our land, no matter what Dr. Tiller's crimes were
(and they were many), vigilante justice--in lieu of a trial, a judge,
and a jury--is a grievous, ungodly measure to take against any
atrocity.

Why does happiness elude modern women?
Over the last four decades, American women have got almost
everything the feminist movement promised. Lucky us! Are we happy now? No, we are not.
All across the industrialized world,
wherever egalitarian feminism has sprinkled its fairy dust, women
report that they are considerably less happy and satisfied with life
then were their benighted, patriarchy-oppressed, apron-wearing sisters
of yore.

Liberated and Unhappy
In the 1960s, when Betty Friedan diagnosed her fellow wives and
daughters as the victims of “the problem with no name,” American women
reported themselves happier, on average, than did men. Today, that
gender gap has reversed. Male happiness has inched up, and female
happiness has dropped. In postfeminist America, men are happier than
women.

Contraceptive hormone linked to breast cancer, teens at risk
A cancer awareness group says as schools pass out birth control to
young girls, they are failing to notify them about an increased health
risk.

Feminist pioneer’s rethink: ‘a woman’s place is in the home’
She is one of feminism's pioneers and founder of the UK's
first refuge for victims of domestic violence, but after decades of
fighting for women's rights Erin Pizzey has come to a startling
conclusion: women should stay at home and look after the children while
men go out to work. Her revelations don't stop there. Pizzey also believes that with
mothers away from home working, their child's development will be
harmed. Her views are supported by new research conducted by Birbeck
College in London, which suggests that the longer children are in
childcare, as opposed to with parents, the more aggressive they become. "I think the traditional way the family was run has been going for
thousands of years and it works. What I see now is men disenfranchised
from their roles. Women are lost because they now have to work
full-time. They don't have a choice. There is no proper child care,
there's nobody home when the children come home." [Here's number three this week -- articles by feminists and others who are coming around full circle to the biblical family model.]
Responsible Manhood
Man up and be a real dad
I am convinced that our city streets have turned into killing fields because dads have abdicated their responsibility in the raising of their children. Yes, mom is vital. But there is something different about dad speaking, lecturing, cajoling, disciplining, embracing, loving and caring. Our schools are filled with children losing their minds, and teachers unable to control them. When that happens, it's typically mom, grandma or an aunt coming to the school to deal with the problem. Ask a teacher or principal today and they will say they rarely see dads.

"She Sawed His Legs Off"
I don’t know how many hundreds of times my father has come home from a
meeting with a couple, married or planning to be married, who
previously said to him that they wanted to make some changes in their
lives, pursue their dreams and entrepreneurial options, only to hear
him say when we asked how it went, “She sawed his legs off...” Or in
other words she completely dishonored, disrespected, and deflated her
man.

The Morning After Pill and the End of Parenthood
To the left, birth control is central to the modern project of
liberation. Pregnancy and parenthood limit other endeavors, to say the
very least. The project of liberating sex from marriage and sex within
marriage from reproduction is central to the modern quest for autonomy.
The Pill allowed a radical expansion in non-marital sex, for example,
now freed from concern about pregnancy. The Pill represented a moral
revolution of incalculable magnitude. [

Planned Parenthood clinics across the country are contributing to the abuse of young girls
The Mona Lisa Project videos document Planned Parenthood's
willingness to repeatedly violate mandatory reporting laws for
statutory rape that protect children. Our series of hidden camera investigations, collected by a team led by
Lila Rose in summer 2008, provide the public the inside story about the
abortion industry and its abuses across the nation. [This expose' should come as no surprise to anyone. In the name of "helping" women and "protecting" young girls from disease and pregnancy, Planned Parenthood rakes in billions of dollars in profits each year (including taxpayer funding). These undercover videos clearly demonstrate that Planned Parenthood is only out for profit and not to protect young girls from sexual predators.

Operation Rescue caught Planned Parenthood enabling statutory rape
"Planned Parenthood was not only willing to look the other way, but was
going to hand birth control pills over to an adult so he could conceal
his continued sexual abuse of a little girl. Most taxpayers would be
very upset to know their tax money was funding that," said Operation
Rescue President Troy Newman. "This is the same Planned Parenthood
office that is facing 107 criminal charges. This recording illustrates
why those criminal charges should proceed and why public money should
be used elsewhere." [

Teach Your Children Well
Study Shows Mother Influences Child's Social Skills
Research from the United Kingdom shows that the way mothers talk to
their children at a young age influences their social skills later in
childhood.The study, funded by the Economic and Social
Research Council, found that children whose mothers often talked to
them about people's feelings, beliefs, wants and intentions developed
better social understanding than children whose mothers did not. [Readers, you'll note a trend here--and you're going to see more of it. Researchers and even long-time feminists are coming back around to what common sense dictates, the Bible proclaims, and "traditional" families have practiced all along. A strong, healthy family with communicative, involved parents is better for children than day care. Be sure to check out more articles coming on similar issues--and look back at the commentary I posted recently about a feminist realizing that a woman who helps her husband can accomplish more than a career woman.]
